Podtoid: Destructoid's Video Game Podcast

On this week's Podtoid, we get TWO Willem Dafoe movie pitches -- a sequel to The 40-Year-Old Virgin and an all-new tale of betrayal and monkey poo. Elsewhere, Jim's started getting overly familiar texts from Tent Reznor, and Jonathan Holmes has a bizarre encounter with that man who sung the song about a semi-charmed kind of life.  The gang also discusses gamers' attachment to videogame executives, the weird secrecy surrounding the game industry, and a few residual issues regarding a certain game we're all sick of hearing about. All this and more, only on Podtoid!

On this week's post-PS4 episode of Podtoid, the gang naturally discusses the PlayStation 4. The games, the hardware, and the online plans are all analyzed and talked about, almost as if this were a videogame podcast. Elsewhere, Chickenscratch O'Hoolihan has a problem with the pig milker, and Jonathan Holmes unites 20,000 hardcore members.  As if that wasn't enough, there's a little wrap-up talk on Colonial Marines, a brief chat about Ad Blocker, and MANY OTHER THINGS!

On this week's mournful Podtoid, the fate of Aliens: Colonial Marines is lamented and there's only one person to blame -- Jonathan Holmes, who shirked his duty and let Uncle Ben die. Outside of that, the gang puts on a dark performance of Disney's Brave, and Conrad lets Curt Cobain really, REALLY have it. Also, is Jonathan the new Charlie Brown? Time will tell. Elsewhere, we talk about videogame success and whether we need a new generation, but just totally went off on Colonial Marines a lot. Also, hairy business! 

On this week's high octane Podtoid, the gang decides to cash in on Jurassic Park, we find sordid new uses for glow sticks, and Jonathan Holmes become Breakfast Boy to the delight of an American TV icon. Oh, and we discuss the ramifications of a Podtoid fan one day murdering him. Because that'd be terrible.  Elsewhere, there's an early taste of the Ken's Rage 2 review, we talk about Next Xbox and its rumored online plans, there's grudging chat concerning Borderlands 2's racial controversy, and loads more. 

On this week's Podtoid, the gang ponders the conglomeration of Disney and opens a planitarium to ponder the nature of the universe and give homeless men some honest work. We also chat about how pretty the Hitman Collection is, and angrily flick through a Fire Emblem art book to try and find Jonathan Holmes.  Elsewhere, there's some chat on some videogames and stuff that you can listen to. Why NOT listen to it?

On this week's Podtoid, we have a bumper length episode, and loads of tidy chat! We discuss Victorian punishments for an ungrateful Jonathan, we become ghosts for hire with magic ghostly bricks, and a Kickstarter is formed in a bid to professional reenact Billy Squire music videos.  As if that wasn't enough, there's loads of talk about the THQ property auction, plenty of analysis on Nintendo Direct's announcements, as well as assorted praise for Animal Crossing, Tokyo Crash Mob, Ni no Kuni, and Euro Truck Simulator 2!

This week's Podtoid mixes hot debate with hot milk, as we take a trip to the Dirty Diary, answer a listener's call to reduce our gay content, and open a new museum in which Jonathan Holmes saves the Human League from horny scarecrows. We do not reduce our gay content. Not for any man.  Elsewhere, we chat it up over The Old Republic's same-sex planet love, Dead Island's bikini corpse, and DmC: Devil May Cry's saucy review. Oh, and do look forward to a debuting Willem Dafoe movie pitch from Conrad!

On this week's Podtoid, it seems Jonathan Holmes can't help breaking the anus embargo conceived for his own benefit! Elsewhere, he becomes a Highlander, and eats feces in the name of charity and Hideki Kamiya. There's also a new Willem Dafoe movie pitch involving dancing cats. It's all the rage! As if that wasn't enough, there's plenty of chat converning Pokemon X and Y, as well as a right royal roasting of the Nintendo 64 and GoldenEye 007. All this and too much more, only on Podtoid!

It's a brand new year, and Podtoid is back with a brand new world of delights! We kick off with Jonathan's newest persona, Freaky Constantina, we learn how to properly get crackheads to clean up their habit, and we officially form the Foot Clan of Boston! As if that wasn't enough, Willem Dafoe tackles a town of spiders in his latest movie role.  Elsewhere, we chat about whether or not 2012 was a bad year for videogames, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct AND the brand new Podtoid Wiki! All this and more, only on Podtoid!

It's the last Podtoid of the year, and that means the gang has cracked open the booze to record a drunken episode. For some reason, Anal Siege was a popular episode last year, so this year we present the chungus-flavored sequel! I'll be honest, at the time of writing, your ol' pal Jim is still drunk as buggered frig, so I can't recall what we talked about. Something about anuses, and post-Christmas talking. God, this podcast was full of things of regret. 

It's the Christmas special Podtoid! Join the gang as it discusses the nightmarish yuletide offerings of the California Raisins, the existential crisis that occurs when Jonathan becomes a mall Santa, and the REAL story of Jesus Christ, who spake his words unto thee!  Also, there's talk of Resident Evil 6's "disappointing" sales, controversy surrounding The War Z, and idiots talking rubbish about gaming's relationship to real-life violence. All this and more, only on a very Christmassy Podtoid!

On this week's Podtoid, the gang discusses slavery, a new way to filter our anal gustings, and the filming of dead birds on a Mississippi beach. Also, we chat about board games, including Betrayal at House on the Hill, which is a pretty rad little game!  Elsewhere, there is talk of SEGA's unpopularity and Capcom's embracing of fan-made games. There are also impressions of the highly promising Rayman Legends, and stern critique of the ways in which games are priced. All this and more, ONLY on Podtoid!

On this week's socially responsible Podtoid, Jonathan Holmes becomes the heroic face of Boston's biggest anti-drug campaign, Conrad becomes a journeyman scholar of the anus, and Morrisey's secret origins are revealed. There's also a really depressing discussion about dementia, because that's what a podcast is for.  Elsewhere, we chat about more Wii U stuff, Microsoft's strengths and failures with Windows 8, and shed a little light on how to get a job in the industry of saying stuff about game things. All this and more, only on Podtoid!

On a spirited edition of Podtoid, the gang details how David Bowie now lives inside Jonathan Holmes' hoarded anus, the mystery of the Black Dahlia murder is solved, and perhaps the most twisted GameCube commerical idea ever is presented to an unwitting world. Elsewhere, Willem Dafoe stars in a brand new film, Blue Eyes In Your Brown Eye.  As if that wasn't enough, we talk about how the game community can stand to be less abusive, how fans could stand to not be so selfish, and how Sony's arrogance is its undoing. We also check in with the Rabbids Land Miiverse community, as well as look at how the Wii and Xbox 360 succeeded in opposite ways. All this and more is ON THE PODTOID!

It is the Thanksgiving episode of Podtoid, and what a show to be grateful for! Join the gang as they host Val Kilmer's Thanksgiving Family Showdown, laugh until you weep at Batman's smelliest videogame adventure, and question the quandary of butt-smelling etiquette.  As if that's not enough, we chat about how Miiverse is being taken over by Willem Dafoe, how fans love to see Jonathan Holmes in peril, and why Conrad's microphone might kill him. All this and more, on a VERY thankful Podtoid! 

On this extra edition of Podtoid, Jim manages to grab Jonathan Holmes while he installs his new Wii U in real-time! Listen to tales direct from the Wii U launch event in New York, listen to New Super Mario Bros. U being played by ACTUAL hands, and even get a rare conversation with Jonathan's wife!  We chat about the major reviews of the day, including Scribblenauts Unlimited, ZombiU, and Tank! Tank! Tank! We discuss Nintendo's bold new online content. We liken Mr. Holmes to a secretary in the 80s. What MORE do you NEED!?

On this week's edition of Podtoid, Jim Sterling finally feels his world crumble as an intense workload breaks his mind. As a result, Jonathan Holmes because the new face of Coca Cola, the Mushroom Kingdom gets multiple endings, and ZombiU asks if you know the definition of insanity.  Elsewhere, we ponder the poetry of a Katy Pervy love doll, have a big ol' chat about Wii U launch games, and even talk about some other things! All this and more, only on Podtoid. 

On this week's AMERICAN Podtoid, the gang discusses Mitt Romney's shocking presidential win, and why the game industry is so damn liberal. Plans are also made to cash in on the next Harry Potter movie by opening a genuine school of wizardry, and Willem Dafoe faces off against Brendan Fraser in the shock sequel of our time.  Meanwhile, one of the cast has a Wii U and manages to put off talking about it for an impressive amount of time. Stay tuned for full-on Wii U impressions, as well as some other talk about more game things. Amazing!

It's a spooky Halloween episode! The gang has a proper scary time, talking about Nintendooooaaaah and the Wii-OOOOOH, followed by some lovely Halloween tips for Jonathan Holmes. He will definitely do them, especially all the ones involving poo.  Unfortunately, the ghost at the feast arrives to spoil the Halloween fun, and Jim more or less derails the entire podcast to have an argument with a complete weirdo on Twitter. Sorry about that. It's kind of still fun though, and even spooky if you think about how creepy it is to have a complete stranger claim they've met you many times and know more about you than you do! Halloweeeeeeeen!

On this week's barnstormer of an episode, Jonathan Holmes pitches an advert for the GameCube that silences even his loudmouthed co-host, we talk about the healing benefits a slimming fecal milkshake, and there's something about wine and anuses. You know, the usual guff.  Elsewhere, we chat about Doritos-sponsored journalism, the benefits of a game that sets its own definition of success, and MANY OTHER GAME THINGS. Sit back, relax, and sit back!
